Savannah Elkins, MPAS, PA-C

Savannah was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes more than 20 years ago, and her passion for endocrinology has only grown since then. As a patient, she experienced firsthand the exceptional care provided by endocrinologists, which inspired her to pursue a career in the field. Today, she is living her dream, working as an endocrinology physician assistant and returning the quality care and support that she has always received. 

 

Her education began in The Woodlands, Texas where she completed high school by the age of 16. She then pursued her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Texas A&M University. After obtaining her undergraduate degree, she worked in the fields of allergy/immunology and pediatric orthotics while raising her young family. She subsequently attended The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, where she earned a master's degree in physician assistant studies. During her time as a student, she proudly balanced the role of PA Student Association President, motherhood, and academics, and graduated with the honor of Scholarly Excellence.

 

Savannah practices scientific evidenced-based medicine. She also believes there is an art to crafting an individualized treatment plan for each patient, and that no two patients are the same. She believes in meeting patients where they are, setting attainable lifestyle goals, and cheering them on throughout the journey. She firmly believes that knowledge is power and her patients will often hear her repeat this phrase prior to explaining their condition. She believes in empowering her patients with the knowledge of their condition and the recommended treatments in ways that her patients can understand thoroughly.

 

Her love for learning keeps her busy outside of work. She finds herself constantly immersed in hobbies and activities that stimulate her knowledge and personal growth outside of medicine. She plays piano, renovates her home with DIY projects, trains for a half marathon, enjoys reading, and finds excitement in learning how to care for a variety of houseplants and her outdoor garden. She also enjoys experiencing new cultures via travelling. Most importantly, you will find her spending every free second raising and loving her two young boys with her husband.
